15 March 2007

The conservative opposition demonstrates against the Gyurcsany government, at the occasion of the 15 March commemoration of the 1848 revolution. 15 March is one of the most, if not the most important, national holiday in Hungary, and is often a prime occasion for protests and demonstrations.

In the evening, riots broke out. See my blog post.

Dank jullie wel, Akbar, Suzanne, and chmtx, thank you very much!

I must admit I was quite proud of this one.. I should try to sell it to Fidesz, it would make good propaganda material ;-)
